JJItON MAKING IN (iKEENSIIOKO AND
T#E IFOX LANDS OF STOKES. '
A correspondent of tho Charlotte
Ohrt nictc writing froui Greensboro or t
the possibility of blunt furnaces being (
established there by Canadian capital- (
ists who own the Oro 11 ill iron uiinc (
forty miles below Greousboio says :
"Your correspondent baa investigated
the matter to some extent and from the
lnQ t reliable source has beeu able to get
sufiioieDt information to confirm the re
port. One of our most prominent bus
iness-men smd to yout correspondent
that he saw a letter from the Canadian
capitalists stating that they would want
SOajsresof land upon which to erect
the building, Ao. That they would put
in $200,000 for every SIO,OOO, put in
by the capitalists of Greensboro That
the capacity of tbo works would be 1
eleven thousand car loads annually. ,
That they could operate here 30 per
cent, cheaper than anywhere else and 1
owing to these facts the smelting and I
refinery works would certainly be catab
lished hero at Greensboro, it must be
remembered that the Friendship Iron '
mines in Guilford county situated on
the Western North Carolina Road, and
only soiue miles above here, were oper- 1
ated veiy successfully duting the late
war. The very best of steel was produ
ced by the Confederacy. These mines 1
now belong to Philadelphia capitalists.
Should this project, now on foot prove
successful, the Philadelphia company
will establish their plant here also. Col.
Heck owns thousauds of acres of rich
iron mining lands in Stokes county, and
tbore is the greatest abundance of coal
and lime, all accessible to the C. K. &
Y. V. Kailroad and within a matter of
time when all these mines will be opera
ted with plants located at Greensboro."
T[;e correspondent of tho Chronicle
has expressed himself io a rather slip
shod maimer in regard to the iron de
posits of Stokes county. One might
infer from what he says that the three
thousand acres own-id by Col. J. M.
Heck, on which are si'uatcd the Rogers
and the Frost ore banks, embrace the
whole iron field of this county. We
deem it but just to tha interests of the
couuty and to the owners of other iron
lands heie to briefly mention in this
place the numerous deposits and pros
pects of iron that occur throughout the
coqcty. The Frost bank, about li
miUs from Danbury ; owned by J. M.
ilock. 2. The Rogers bunk, two miles
from the Frost, owned by J. M. Ilock.
3. Tho Cherry tree bank, one mile east
of the Rogers bank, leased by th( tap
per Mining Co. This veiu is reported
to be ten feet thick. 4. Tbe Cooke
bank, near the last named. 5. Tbe
Wadkin bank, one-half mile from tbe
last named, owned by ( loud Si Pearson.
0. The Carlin bank, two miles from the
last named, owned by Cloud & I'ear son.
7. The Hairston bank, north of the Ro
gers bank. 8,9. Tbe Nelson soapstone
oro banks, near Buek Island creek,leas
ed by tho Pepper Mining Co. 10. The
Hard bank, to the east of the last nam
ed. 11. The Shropshire bank west of
tho Rogers bank, owned by tho Pepper
Mining Co.
All the preceding were worked, as
well aa the Wayland, the Weaver ami
other bauks in the south-western part of
the county, to supply bloomary forges
from 1780 t'U 1865. Among the out
cjoppings of ore may be noted one cross
ing tbe road leading from Ruck Island
ford, ope on Lafayette Smith's laud, and I
a good soapstone magnetic ore on the
land of John Simmons, Brown Moun
tain, P.O.
What little we have seen of Tenny
son's poem on Her Majesty is not appe
tizing and not worthy ol bis noble muse.
Writing verse to order is a poor busi
ness. Verse never rises inio poetry
yvithout inspiration.— fVitmiagton Slur.
It has not happened often that occa
aional productions in either poetry or
music have represented their authors at
their best Handel's Dettingen Te Deum
is an exception. This writer never heard
but one beside himself who appreciated
Wagner'? Centoninal March for which
he received $7,000. This is the way
the London lllustrated JSews spoke of
the composition : "A piece composed,
apparently, in baste, and possessing,
but little interest or special charactor."
Sojne one once wrote to Washington
Irving requesting him to write an origi
nal though for an autograph. Irving
gpod naturedly replied that he could not
spontaneously, command original
thoughts, that they came in inspired
momenta Indeed original thoughts are
rare. One of the eulogists on Edward
Everett at tbe Memorial Meeting held
on tbe occasion of bis death said it was
tfue that this great orator consummate
rbetoriccian and master of style had
payer produced a great original thought.
WINSTON AS SEEN FROM THE
DISTANCE.
A nittUS EYE VIEW FROM TIIB TOP OF !
THE SAt'RATOWN MOUNTAIN.
Last Thursday was a big day in Win
stou. We happened to be in a good
position to see and noticed almost thou
sands of voters rushing to the polls to
vote for a Kailroad subscriplion. As
well as we understood the projected
road is an extension of the Greeusboro-
Salem road to \\ ilkesboro. The fireing
of cannon in the evening was an an
nouncement that the subscription bad
carried by more than 100 to 1. Well
done for Winston's publio spirit and
enterprise. Now lookiugou the measure
from our stand point if we weie in
Winston w« tbe people of
that dear little "twin-city" that should
this road be built, which we do not think
wilt be eflitctuaUid inptbe ueitr future,
that it will bo of no advantage to tboui.
Little towns would spr.ng up all along
the liue that would absorb as much
trade as the road would bring, aud while
opening up to Winston jobbers a means
of shipping goods to country merchants
it would as well furuish tho ineaus for
the hoards of Northern drummers to go
and sec these country merchants and
whisper their tales of low prices, that
such and such fellows in Winston paid
so and so for this article but wo want
your trade aud you may have it for so
muuli.
No, wc cannot see that this toad run
ning through a purely agricultural sec
tion, can be of much benefit. What
Winston wants in our judgment looking,
from the top of the oldSauratown moun
tain at the one thousand and one dark
specks dotting tbe wall around thee our
bouse square, or standing in groups on
tbe street corners, while instinct and
eyesight, tell us are able bodied men. is
a more diversified industry; manufactu
rers that will give these men regular
employment, not for five or six months,
as thoy have in tobacco factories, but
all the year round.
Will this road bring the raw material
to support factories that will gtvo em
ployment to this throng of winter idlers?
If not, then Winston should look in
another direction. When u child needs
assistance it naturally looks to it.*,
mammy, so should Forsyth (Winston).
Stokes has the raw material to keep Wiu
ston's thousands of hands busy twelve
months in the year. Does it want lum
ber for wagons, spokes, handles, shuttle
blocks or what not, Stokes can supply
the material; does it want coal, lime,
uiunganese, graphite, and iron oro to
run a dozen furnaces giving employment
to hundreds of hands; it can find all
of them aud more in Stokos.
We do not presume to advise Win
ston, but from our distant standpoint
it really seems that that place must
have something for its idta hands to do
in winter as well as summer, should it
continue to grow. Iu a few years it
will not be in a condition to even keep
up its present condition, when the to
bacco markets that may be expected to
spring up along the C. F. & Y. V.
Railroad will cut off possibly one-half
' of its wsgon trade.
The Shakespoaie Society at the Uni
versity spells it Shakspore. We once
hoked into the spelling of the great
dramatist's name and we found tbo evi
dence in favor of tbe fiist spelling above
quite preponderating. Wilmington
Star.
The Star is correct. The Shakespeare
Club ot Philadelphia adopted that spell
ing on due consideiation of tbe subject.
| We think the Shakespeare Society of
London also uses this form of spelling
the name. Among the members who
formerly composed tbe Philadelphia
club were the late Rev Dr. C. P.
( Krautli who was regarded the first sohol-
1 1 ur of tbe Lnthetan church in America,
I | the late George A'.len, Greek professor
>in the University—a finished scholar—
' the late A. 1. Fish, an excellent Shakes
' pcriun Scb dir, the late Chief Justice
'jsharswood, Horace Howard Furncss

n peare, tbe best of all editions and Prof.
" J Corson now ol Cornell University.

BEN FRANKLIN'S ASSISTANT, j
| In reading (lie first pttrt ot the life of.
5 Biship Wliito in tbo Clturch Unieto we j
find an intending paragraph that bears !
upon one of tbu greatest of Americans,
it appear* that about 1754. or a lutle
later, Kbeneztv Kinuersley, M. A., call
ed bj Dr. Stille, "a uiau of remarkable
attainments.'' was aa assistant of Dr.
Benjamin Franklin i? his experiments iu
electricity. He was "supposed by
. many to have been entitled to a higher
credit for" the "discoveries than" Dr.
Franklin hiiuself. At page 308 of the
Church Review for March ws find this
Ktatetueut.
"lu a prospectus of the college pub
lished by Dr. (William) Smith in 17uB,
Kinnerslcy is thus spoken of:
"He is well qualified for his profession,
aud has, moreover, great merit with the
r learned world in beiuj; the chief inventor
of electrical appaiatus as well as author
of a considerable part of those discover
ies in electricity, published by Mr.
Hratikliu, to whom he communicated
the..,"' ~ *
Now this is decidedly interesting.
Dr. Stille, Dr. Smith, President of the
College, Mr. Kinnerly, and Dr. Fiank
lin all lived iu Philadelphia, theo a com
paratively small place, p.obably not lar
ger than Wilmington. We suppose
there is no doubt that Dr. Franklin has
received credit for much that belougs to
his gifted aud scientific associate. It
has many times occurred iu this worl-i
that tbu real inventors have not receiv
' ed recognition or full credit. The
North Carolinian'who iuvcuted the re
i volviug | istol is uukunwn, but Colt, whi>
did not iuvent it live*. Morse, the tel
egraphic diso ivcrcr, is famous, and al
though he merits due recognition for
much that he did, ho was very greatly
t indebted to I'rof. Henry and others for
, what he accomplished, l'rankliu id one
of the world's most famous men, while
we learn for the first time of his ingeni
ous associate, Mr. Kinnerslcy, from the
j Review before us.—Wilmington Slur.

Jouu STATU CONTEMPORARIES.
( A feeling of uurest aud dissatisfaction
pervades the country, especially the ru
'' ral sections. While many towns and
cities are rapidly building np and seem
to be prosperous, yet it is not so with
. the country generally. We venture the
f assertion that the farmers of North Car
olina as a class are not as prosperous as
they were five, ton, ot fifteen years ago.
And yet many towns in that time have
e grown wonderfully, doubling their pop
t ulation and weallh Why this groat
" difference exists we do not undertake to
' explain, but we would venture to sug
gest on* oiuse of it, and that
so many persons have removod and
moving from the country into the towns.
Pittsboro Record.
We have long thought and argued
that it was unwise in a farmer to plant
S and attempt to produoc crops upon more
o acres of land thau they can thoroughly
a cultivate. It seems to be the prevailing
, idea with many that the more acres
planted the more bountiful will be the
| harvest. Not so, however. The best
l >' results always ooine from the bost and
r most thorough cultivation. Say that s
. man has a givon amount of fer'iliier,
instead of putting it on a requiaito num
ber of aores fur tho quantity to be u-td
he scatters it over twico tha sp-ioc il
a should bo placed in and it is aim"*'
equal to that much thrown sw-iy. A

will prove moro profitable lhan a larpt
